As a list of daily habits... 1) Walk 30 minutes a day, every day, so it becomes a habit. Maybe take one day off a week to simply relax. When daily walking has become a habit for at least 2 to 4 weeks, add 5 to 10 seconds of running for every minute of walking. I find even a bit of running will improve my mood more than…

As many have said, talk to your doctor, because different conditions require different drugs, and individuals react in wildly different ways to the same drug. Whenever my moods go off, I look at my life style, and I usually see that I'm not exercising consistently, not eating correctly, and/or I'm making alcohol a daily…

If you have a history of anorexia, I don't see how counting calories and tracking your weight would do anything but make you more obsessive.

PS - your constant worry about "wasting" your vacation is a classic sign of workaholism. If you can, while on this last week of your vacation, find and read a book called "Working Ourselves to Death." Relax. Retreat. Rethink.

It sounds like your job has turned you into a workaholic, which is a form of adrenalin addiction. You've carried that stress into your vacation and exercise program.
